Ukraine military launches new attack Ukraine military launches new attack on eastern rebels
(35 minutes later)
Ukraine says full scale military operation launched in east, hours after ceasefire with pro-Russian rebels ends Ukrainian forces have launched a full-scale military operation against pro-Russia separatists in the east, hours after a ceasefire ended.
More to follow. Rebel bases and strongholds were under attack from aircraft and artillery, government officials said.
The 10-day ceasefire ended on Monday evening, with President Petro Poroshenko saying "criminal elements" had thwarted the chance for peace.
Western leaders and Russia had urged him to prolong the truce.
Ukraine's parliament speaker Oleksander Turchynov told MPs on Tuesday: "I can inform you that in the morning the active phase of the anti-terrorist operation was renewed.
"Our armed forces are carrying out strikes on terrorist bases and checkpoints."
President Poroshenko went on television on Monday night saying: "We will attack, we will free our land."
The president had come under pressure from protesters urging a renewal of the operation against the separatists.
Both sides had accused each other of violating the truce.
A four-way teleconference on Monday between Mr Poroshenko, Russian President Vladimir Putin, French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel had raised hopes the truce would be renewed.
But Mr Poroshenko said in his address: "The decision not to continue the ceasefire is our answer to terrorists, militants and marauders."
